But Plum’s move wasn’t the only splash. WNBA champion Jewell Loyd, who requested a trade at the end of last year, is also on the move, taking Plum’s roster spot in Las Vegas as part of a three-team trade.

Here is how the trade shakes out: Las Vegas receives: Jewell Loyd, No. 13 overall pick (via Sparks) Los Angeles receives: Kelsey Plum, No. 9 overall pick (via Seattle) Seattle receives: No. 2 overall pick (via Sparks), Li Yueru

Also, the Aces received the No. 13 pick in the 2025 draft from Los Angeles; the Sparks received the No. 9 pick and a 2026 second-round pick from Seattle; and the Storm will receive the Aces' 2026 first-round pick.
